U can take nexum but if it is not solving your issue then must find out the reason. Acidity has many reasons, may be u have problem in stomach, or liver or gall bladder. Change your diet pattern from soicy or oiky foods to non spicy less oil foods. Take dinner 3 hours before sleeoing. If you are over weight then reduce your weight. Consume more water. If yiu are over stressed then find out and relieve. Proper sleep of 6 to 7 hours. Follow all this u will not need any medicine. INSHAALLAH
